(1 - 27) of 27 OFCS Rating: 41% Rotten Page   1   "Intensely romantic and artistically photographed, 'Tristan & Isolde' is a welcome quality release during the January movie doldrums."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker C+ "It's a nice attempt to tell a classic love story with integrity, but the execution falters, leaving the true power of the romance lacking when the film needs it the most."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Not as antic or silly as his Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Kevin Reynolds' return to the realm of noble knights, ardent damsels, and grim scoundrels is melodramatic and anachronistic."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/5 "The longer the film ran, the more I wanted to be put out of Tristan and Isolde's misery."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 2/4 "A movie in which all necessities are captured in two hours of ambitious celluloid, except for one critical anchoring piece: a heart."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 2.5/4 "...never out-and-out boring..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C+ "No Wagner libretto and not much depth or soul."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "A sweeping, heartfelt tale, beautifully told, that works on multiple levels."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 2/4 "The film gives off the feeling of being incredibly bored with itself. The feeling, sadly, is contagious."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez C "There are serious ideas at work here. But in these hands, it's as shallow and glossed-over as Franco's English accent."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B+ "A tough, thrilling melodrama."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C- "A tepid, tinny modernist recasting of the epic romance...something like a WB Network twentysomething soap opera in medieval dress."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/5 "A legendary love story set amidst violent clashes between English warlords and an Irish king fails to impress."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "I can wholeheartedly recommend Tristan & Isolde, even to those who don't have a penchant for period piece romances. The movie has a lot to offer."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "A compelling story washed down for a film that's likely only appeal to pre-teen girls."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 1.5/5 "one of those movies you keep in that special shelf, to watch them when you're ready to kill yourself, just to make sure you made the right decision"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3/4 "The film's roots and execution are faithful to the source and allow the emotional and thematic complexity of the tale to shine through."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "[R]eally good, in all sorts of unexpected ways: it's stirring, sexy, exciting, tragic, and perhaps most surprisingly, genuine."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1.5/5 "The end result plays out like a George Lucas film without spaceships and lightsabers."   Film Threat   Michael Ferraro C "Oh, their legend will survive. But this classic comics-style perfume commercial of a re-telling will not."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 4/5 "Funciona principalmente graças à maneira eficaz com que retrata o amor do casal-título, que jamais deixa de soar convincente."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2.5/5 "Much more A Knight's Tale than Romeo & Juliet"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "This couple has endured for over 900 years; the least Tristan & Isolde can do is show us a reason why."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B- "["Tristan & Isolde"] is trying to be both chick flick and machismo movie. I’m not sure it does either well enough but it is a showcase for Sophia Myles."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3.5/5 "A strong visual style and a violent streak only partially undone by the PG-13 rating."   DVD Clinic   Scott Weinberg 7/10 "A poignant, old-fashioned, history-heavy forbidden romance"   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 1/4 "He freezes his face and half-fills his eyes as lovelorn fighter Tristan; the very Madame Toussaud effigy of Andy Gibb in a tunic, he lets his leonine mane do the emoting."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 27) of 27 OFCS Rating: 41% Rotten Page   1
